That’s right, this coming Saturday, November 24th, we’re hosting our annual Holiday Open House, all day, from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.
Meanwhile, Happy Thanksgiving (and that means pie, WOOT)!!!

Stop by the shop tomorrow for a little preview of what’s to come when our shipment arrives. We are putting out a few of the bits that we were able to get in our suitcases. Tea and shortbread, too!

*The idiom “bits and bobs” in the English language is a general term for an eclectic mix of items. The phrase is just one option for describing a jumble of objects. Many more synonymous words and phrases apply to this kind of mix of items.

Many who are familiar with the use of the colorful phrase in English will agree that the phrase is used more in the U.K. than in some other English speaking societies like the United States. Americans tend to use different phrases for this idea, one of the most popular being “odds and ends.” Both “odds and ends” and “bits and bobs” can refer to a wide range of collections of items.  www.wisegeek.com

Yes, that’s right, in just a few days we’re crossing the pond in search of fabulous finds for Sheppard Street Antiques!!!! We’ll be sure to post while we’re away so that you can share in our excitement.

The shop will be closed from October 29th through November 2nd, but if you need to pick up already purchased items while we are gone, please call Amanda at (804) 307-6435 to make arrangements!!!

What would you like to see us bring back from England?

Wow, are we loving this cooler (for the most part, anyway!) weather!!!   Fall is one of our favorite seasons bringing beautiful colors to add to our “nest”.
This week we went to the pumpkin farm and as you can see, we had a blast. We have white, “ghost”, and cinnamon pumpkins, mini white and orange pumpkins, as well as colorful gourds for sale, fresh from the farm at great prices. We’re still looking for some bittersweet, so be sure to watch our Facebook page. I’ll post as soon as we get some.
Also, we have been bringing new inventory into the shop daily. Come by soon and find some inspiring fall decorating ideas!

Hope to see you soon!!
